DH and I watched most of it on Sunday night. We're probably about 15 mins from the end but went to bed and haven't watched the rest since. Granted we've been busy and haven't had a night in together since Sunday but we're in no great hurry to find out how it ends.
Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but I just didn't think it was the 'great film' that everyone was raving about. I thought Joaquim was really good, and Reece was pretty good too (though not Oscar-worthy IMO). But it just felt like, as DH put it 'a good biopic' but nothing extraordinary.
On that score I was even less impressed with Brokeback Mountain. I didn't think the relationship between the two men was convincing and I thought the film was pretty ordinary (apart from Michelle Williams as Ledger's ex-wife - a phenomenal performance in a teeny-weeny role).
I've seen some extraordinary films over the years - Dancer in the Dark, La Haine, Le Diner de Cons (I could go on) - all of which moved me enormously and I would gladly watch again if I haven't already (perhaps not Dancer - far too emotionally harrowing at the end). But it bemuses me that films which, by comparison with these three, are pretty pedestrian, should receive such grand acclaim.
